  • You don’t understand. This is not for you, the signal user, to speak with WhatsApp users. This is for you to convince them to swap to signal and keep talking to other WhatsApp users. The more people change, the less information will go through meta. Lowering the barrier to swap apps is great.

    To send messages, the third-party providers have to construct message protobuf structures which are then encrypted using the Signal Protocol and then packaged into message stanzas in eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

    Meta servers push messages to connected clients over a persistent connection. Third-party servers are responsible for hosting any media files their client applications send to Meta clients (such as image or video files). After receiving a media message, Meta clients will subsequently download the encrypted media from the third-party messaging servers using a Meta proxy service.

    This is only for messages sent to WhatsApp, right now you are force to use their app to chat with WhatsApp users, which is worse than the proposal.



  • This is not federation, this is signal being able to send message to a WhatsApp server and WhatsApp being able to interpret it to send it to a WhatsApp user. WhatsApp wouldn’t know more than what it already knows when you inevitably need to use the app to reply to your grandma or whatever.

    A big plus however is that you can convince friends and family to switch since they would be able to keep chatting with their family and friends, so the entry barrier lowers by a ton.

    This is not federation and it is great.

    I fully agree with your second sentence, you don’t have to do it tough, there are avenues in game to do everything. Shortening your play time because you pay is stupid and pointless. The way people demonized the game for something that’s optional that degrades the game experience is beyond me. Saying that they designed the slow game thinking of the money store, when the game is following the spirit of the original very well is idiotic.

    In any case, you are entitled to your opinion.

    “Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it’s not that big of a deal.”

    About Dragon’s dogma 2’s character editor system.

    They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.

    Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.

    BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:

    " I’m going to be downvoted to hell, but I’m loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn’t play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.

    Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.

    The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else… Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won’t. "








  • When a human creates art, there is some intent on it, some emotions they felt when they decided the color pallete, the form… The fact that someone created it and that there’s some story behind it gives the piece weight.

    Why is an abstract monument created by humans something other humans like to see, and doesn’t happen the same on a landslide? Because there’s a story behind it.

    AI art is lifeless because there’s no intent behind it, you don’t appreciate the skill of the author behind it. It’s just prompt mastery and anyone can replicate it, it’s cheap.

    It’s like comparing human made sculptures with 3d printed sculptures, if 3d printers could create details and work in big sizes. It’s cheap.


  • About your first point: think of it like inbreeding, you need fresh genes on the pool or mutations occur.

    A generative model will generate some relevant results and some non relevant results, it’s the job of humans to curate that.

    However, the more content the llm generates, it is used on the web and thus becomes part of it’s training data.

    Imagine that 95% of results are accurate, from those only 1% doesn’t get fact checked and gets released into the internet where other humans will complain, but that will be used as input of an llm regardless. Anyway, so we have a 99% accuracy in the next input, and only 95% of that will be accurate.

    It’s literally a sequence that will reach very innacurate values very fast:

    f(1) = 1
    f(x_n) = x_n-1 * 0.95
    

    You can mitigate it by not training it on generated data, but as long as AI content replaces genuine content, specially with images, AI will train itself from its own output and it will degenerate fast.

    About the second point, you can pay artists to train models, sure, but that’s not so clear when talking about text based generative models that depend on expert input to give relevant responses. About voice LLMs too, any given money would not be enough for a voice actor because doing so would effectively destroy their future jobs and thus future income.
